Wow this past week has been CRAZY! Lots of stuff going on. (Making this a pretty long post.Partly to make up for last week too I guess.)
So I just got back from California visiting my sister and it was so much fun!
We saw No Doubt in concert which was great! (and which was also my first concert experience so that was cool. Gwen is amazing live. She’s all over the place dancing and running into the crowds and interactive and stuff. Very cool. And I’m still surprised I still have my voice after that night. lol).
We also went to San Francisco and it was actually pretty sunny when we went (which is apparently rare) but we still weren’t able to get a good glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was like all the clouds decided to huddle over the bridge.
This was the best pic I could get.

Crazy stuff at E3! And elsewhere.
But I still got good news and bad news. So I’ll start with the bad. I have exams coming up (including a 3-hour one next Saturday afternoon. WHO WAS THE GENIUS WHO SCHEDULED THAT?!?!?! Oh right. The same genii that told me I’d have to drop a course because they couldn’t fit my timetable… Until I pestered them for two weeks. Yeah.) meaning it is highly likely there will be no post next week since my exams span one and a half weeks (and I just happen to have exams both on the first and last days. Lovely.) So, wish me luck? Or really, just hope that I spend a decent amount of time actually studying productively.
And onto semi-bad news. Or at least in my opinion. A couple days ago, we saw the first trailer for FFXIV! (This was codenamed Rapture FYI) And it looked great! Until… the title came up. ONLINE? YOU SERIOUS? They already had FFXI. (And with a Star Wars MMORPG coming probably in 2010 too…) And if they’re gonna do this, they need to at least have a regular game that’s called FFXIV and then a related game that’s the mmo. I don’t like how the mmo’s are taking over the main name. If it was just FFXI, I would have let it go, but another one? … We’ll see how that goes.
The only good thing about this is that Nobuo Uematsu will be back for it! And, assuming he didn’t just come back for the one game, he might be back for good! That’ll be AWESOME!

So, funny story. Well, more like random, but funny sounds more intriguing. This is a chain of Youtube videos that I watched earlier today and I thought I’d share it with you. So I was just looking through my Youtube subscription updates and one of them happened to be from Kollaboration (which has AWESOME stuff by the way) and I came across one of their performers, Jennifer Chung, and she was singing this song, Very Last Time which she happened to write and I loved her voice, so I looked at the version of it on her Youtube channel which is even better (quality-wise and everything) and then this lead me to one of her covers, Nobody originally by the Wonder Girls which is BEAUTIFUL. I had never heard the song before but I had to find it immediately, and lucky for me, that video was a video response to it and the Wonder Girls version is awesome as well. Jennifer’s is a sweet mellow ballad version but still beautiful while the Wonder Girls do their awesome dance-pop version, with a great dance to go along with it. Here is the original version.
Boo… only a two-day weekend… lol

Haven’t had one of these in a while… and it feels kinda weird. Anyway, lotsa stuff this week! I probably won’t get to all of it, but I’ll just mention most of it. So, to start off, Kingdom Hearts is getting a piano collection! I’m really excited because I LOVE all the Final Fantasy Piano collections (or just any FF music in general. All the versions too 
) so I’m really excite that KH is getting one! It may not be done by Nobuo Uematsu (aka music GENIUS) but Yoko Shimomura has done some amazing work as well. Ah… these people are so amazing… I’m so envious… and more Square-related news, they’ve added more to the North America Dissidia page. It’s still very teaser-ish, but it looks totally awesome. I can’t wait for this to come out. Who wouldn’t love an FF all-star fighting game? That could very well be cooler than mixing Disney with Final Fantasy.
And it looks like Funimation is following Crunchyroll with simulcasts? Cool. And with FMA! Even cooler. “FUNimation will deliver high-quality, free, original Japanese dialogue accompanied by English subtitles, streaming episodes of studio Bones’ new Fullmetal Alchemist via www.funimation.com as well as key video-sharing partners.” I’m assuming the other video-sharing partners to be Hulu and Joost, so that may be US-only. Joost and Funimation are not as restricted, as far as I know, but we’ll see if they add restrictions because they’re simulcasts. Either way, very cool.
And while I won’t have time to talk about this too much right now, I finally finished up Saiunkoku Monogatari Season 2, Gundam 00 First season (lol yes I’m behind. By a whole season), and Skip Beat. For Skip Beat, all I’m gonna say is that it was amazing but cut off at a bad point in the arc. I’m glad they didn’t rush to try to finish the arc or anything, but without confirmation of a second season, it is still a cliffhanger, and that’s annoying. I still think the anime is amazing, but a second season is definitely needed. They didn’t even get to THE SCENE yet! (chapters 68-71 for those who want to know)
New chapters of Shugo Chara and Skip Beat, and TRC? Yay! lol
That’s why you need a plan b

So, as usual, my original plan didn’t end up happening so instead of finishing up Nabari no Ou, this week I caught up on Shugo Chara, which is still progress so that was good. And also, I’m feeling the need to further express my love of Skip Beat so I’ll be sure to do that in this post.
But I also feel like listening to a song…
This is Toast by J featuring Humming Urban Stereo. This is a really calming yet upbeat song that I feel like you’d here in a high-class coffee shop or something and I think it’s really cool. I can’t really remember how I found this song but I’m pretty sure it happened after surfing random videos of songs on Youtube which led me to this. I was also doing this yesterday for game music and came across some that were compilations of victory fanfares from a bunch of games and just listening to that reminded me of the great moments in those games and that happy feeling. Oh the wonderful memories…
Oh and if you’re not caught up on Shugo Chara or Skip Beat, this post may not be for you.
Anyway…
The only thing better than weekends…

… are long weekends! Or more-than-a-week long breaks, but that doesn’t come too often, so long weekends are the next best thing.
Anyway, this song (at least this version of it) has been in my head for over a week now. I really wanna learn how to play this lol. It doesn’t look too hard…
Oh and… I guess I have to say it… so
Happy Valentine’s Day!
or, as I’ve seen a number of people mention, Single Awareness Day (whose acronym happens to be SAD… Coincidence? I think not!)
Hallelujah!

(or… Alleluia? I never really understood why there were two different spellings… is one more churchy than the other? Meh…)
School is out and it’s time for… a vacation!
Hehe that just popped into my head and I decided to play it here
But no, I’m not going anywhere hot, but at least it’s break time! That’s good enough for me. I’m not too greedy.
What do you mean, it’s not symbolic?

Well, maybe it is… but chances are I’m just thinking too much.
Confused? That’s okay! Keep reading and you might understand.
Why am I always so confusing? Maybe because I can’t stay on topic? Makes sense…
Here’s a song for you. Yep, you guessed it. It’s an opening to an anime. This time it’s Stray from Wolf’s Rain.
Ah… great song. I need to finish that show… it’s on hold right now lol
Weekends are awesome! Unless…

So it’s the weekend again! Awesome!
But… tomorrow I have an eye doctor appointment… *shudders*
If I haven’t said this already, I am ommatophobic, or simply I am afraid everything to do eyes. Yes. And it’s an actual phobia because I realized just recently when I was forced to wear liquid eyeliner and mascara that I… didn’t feel well. (Although I’m pretty sure that was not the only reason, it was a BIG reason) And what’s even worse, is that this year I’ll have to get eyedrops. It’s the one you’re supposed to get every two years that make your pupils get big and dilated for a good 3-4 hours and it makes you more sensitive to light and it’s blurry… and it’s scary! Actually, I was supposed to get them last year since that was the odd year, but I got out of it because I told my eye doctor that I had a lot fo work to do. (Which was TOTALLY TRUE! It just happened to have other benefits…) Anyway, I don’t think I can get out of it this time, so I’m kind of dreading the time passing as I get closer and closer to tomorrow…
Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, my Canadian friends!
Ah… long weekends are awesome! But I really hate the couple of teachers who gave me homework… Sheesh! They really know how to ruin a weekend. Grr…
Latest song in my head: Going Home, from Bleach
(Don’t mind the picture… I don’t know what it is)
But it’s such a beautiful song! And obviously, that means it’s most likely a sad song too. But… it’s so pretty! It’s making me melt…
